Hello! It is with great enthusiasm that I welcome you to my website. We all lead busy lives with many responsibilities and often it is difficult to find the time to call or stop by and visit your elected representative.

As you know, Democratic government will not work without the active and informed participation of those who we are elected to represent. I pledge to continue my commitment to making your voice heard in the New Jersey Legislature by sponsoring and fighting to pass laws dealing with such crucial matters as protecting the environment, preserving open space, and providing property tax relief.

It is my hope that this website makes it easier for you to get information about your State Government, learn about my work and experience in the New Jersey State Legislature, and expand the lines of communication between us. Please take advantage of the information and resources here. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions or requests.
